The Lessons tool allows instructors to organize resources, media, and activities that are housed in other tools in the course site or elsewhere on the web. By creating direct links to these items on one or more lessons pages, instructors can simplify the navigation of their courses for their students, and also exercise more control over when and how students access course content.  

Unlike most other tools, multiple instances of the Lessons tool may be added to a single course site, meaning that instructors may organize all of their items on a single lessons page or create separate pages for individual units, topics, or course meetings.

Note: For instructions on how to add this or any other tool to your site, see How do I add tools to my site?

If you were manually added (NOT added by a SIS course roster) to a site, or you chose to join a joinable site, you may be able to unjoin or remove yourself from the site.

Note: Instructors in course sites and Owners in collaboration sites cannot unjoin these sites.  To be able to unjoin a course site, you must have been manually added (NOT added by a SIS course roster) in one of the following roles: Secondary Instructor, Teaching Assistant, or Student.  To be able to unjoin a collaboration site, you must be an Administrator, Member, or Observer.

If a site owner or administrator has configured their site to be joinable, you can add yourself to it in one of three ways:

1. Using a site URL,
2. Using the Membership tool in My Workspace,
3. Using the Site Browser on the UVaCollab Gateway.
